Abstract
Based on the data of route census conducted in 2016, the number and density of the stray dog population (Canis lupus familiaris) in Magadan were calculated; the spatial distribution of these dogs in urban areas was revealed. All stray dogs were included in censuring: ownerless (stray) and semi-free dogs (having a master, but leaving the household territory without an accompanying person). The total number of animals according to the census was 500–800 individuals, the average population density was 45 ind./km2 . The population density of stray dogs was established to depend on the type of building development and was determined by the presence of food and shelters. The highest population density was detected in the low-rise housing zone (102 ind./km2 ), and the lowest – in the high-rise residential area (32 ind./km2 ). The population density at the industrial and warehouse territory occupied an intermediate position (42 ind./km2 ). The data obtained can be used to plan the work aimed at the regulation of the number of stray dogs.
Supporting agencies: This study was supported by the grant of governor of Magadan region for young scientists.
